Hidden Valley Holiday Park, Wicklow, Ireland

Hidden Valley is a serene haven of relaxation. Set in a beautiful valley with sites overlooking the tranquil waters of the Avonmore River and a glassy, private lake, The park offers guests the opportunity to experience a holiday amid an abundance of wildlife including kingfishers, cranes, wild geese, ducks, otters and pheasant.

Hidden Valley Holiday Park attracts couples and families seeking a peaceful, family-fun holiday in picturesque surroundings. The park offers both hard-standing and grass sites, each with electric, water and grey waste. The park also has a fantastic choice of boutique glamping lodges for those looking for an outdoor getaway with all the views of camping but with all the comforts of home.

The Park was formed in 2005 and is owned and operated by The Williams family. In the first three years of operation, the owners upgraded the holiday park from a 2-star park into a 4-star Failte Ireland approved park offering modern facilities and great value for couples and families alike. As a family owned and operated business we take great pride in assuring our guests a fantastic and memorable holiday.

The park is located in Rathdrum (“Ringfort of the Ridge”), which was originally the main town of Co. Wicklow, and is still well serviced by both train and bus. The town is situated high on the western side of the beautiful Avonmore Valley and offers the tourist scenic views of the Avonmore River, which flows through the Vale of Clara. The Rathdrum railway station opened on July 18th, 1863.

Rathdrum is well known for the Avondale House and Forest Park, which was home to Charles Stewart Parnell – one of the greatest political leaders of modern Irish History. The grounds offer excellent forest/river walks and picnics.

Rathdrum was also well known for the Rathdrum International Cartoon Festival. The Cartoon Inn displays the work of Bill Eirner, Hunt Emereson, Ulrich Schroeder, Bob Foster, which are among some of the famous artists whose work can be seen at close quarter. The Cartoon Inn is famed far and wide for the rich and humour cartoons which adorn its welcoming walls.

Lovely place really clean. The on-site facilities were very good. Would really recommend this site to others. A nice little walk into Rathdrum village where we eat and then walked back to the site.

Nice weekend

We had a very enjoyable stay in a very comfortable lodge ,a gift from my daughter husband and grandchildren who were also in hidden valley in their caravan so it made our visit extra special. The park was spotless,food excellent entertainment for all ages staff were friendly courteous helpful excellent We visited the local town Rathdrum ,Avon Dale beyond the trees,Botanic garden,and wicklow Town the grandchildren took part in many activities each day and loved the easter egg hunt canoing and water sports laser cinema and disco at night while we enjoyed dinner all under the same roof it was so safe and convenient.yes we hope to return .

Average camp site where you pay for everything

We had traveled all over Ireland and stayed here at the end of our trip. We had to pay for hot showers which was the first time we'd encountered this at any site. This gave the whole place a feel of prioritising profits above caring for guests. The staff were not friendly, not really interested in helping us and gave a somewhat gloomy atmosphere to the whole place.

boutique lodge

Stayed here a few times camping and cabins always a fantastic getaway for families , First time in Boutique cabin they are brilliant , I just dont like the €100 euro deposit to be paid when checking in as it takes 2 to 3 weeks to be returned to your card why cant you just secure card on check in like hotels do without taking peoples money ??

It's our second time there, plenty to do in park and plenty places to visit around the area. We definitely will be back next year.

Lovely large holiday park. Pitches are level and sizeable with free choice on which one you select. Unfortunately the weather was really awful. The public areas were clean and warm. There is loads to do however there is a further cost for almost every activity (including showers). Making this a really expensive location to stay and enjoy. Online booking available for most of the activities however these book out really quickly and more availability or time slots would be needed. I felt there was a lack of info provided at check in. Perhaps reception should have a checklist to ensure they pass along all the need to know info (residents buy wrist bands etc). I feel for the cost of the plot one wrist band per person/party could have been included. Loads to see outside off the park also and shops and take aways all within walking distance. Avondale only 40 mins walk on footpaths - well worth going to.

Great stay.

Lovely site and plenty of things to do both in site and nearby. Staff very friendly and facilities great. Could do with WiFi for the rainier days and organising any trips. Make sure bring change for arcade machines in the games room. Overall great stay and lovely time.
